We’ve profiled the California Automobile Museum in downtown Sacramento via the pages of Hemmings Motor News, and jumped right on it when their staff sent us an update on their activities. And if one was ever appropriate for California, this one’s it.

The museum just uncorked its salute to Volkswagen, which became a talisman of the California lifestyle through the Beetle, the surfer-friendly van and you name it. WUNDERCARS, as the display is dubbed, runs through May 12. For more information, visit CalAutoMuseum.org, daddy-o.

Thanks for the write up! We are so excited for this exhibit and are having the best time with it. We owe a huge favor to NorCal Vdubs for putting on a successful car show that was placed outside the Museum on this same day. It made our opening weekend a large spectacle and we are grateful for the support- nearly 500 people arrived for the show and exhibit.

Also, we would like to thank Sacramento for being a wonderful city packed full of cultural enthusiasts. We thrive from the support of our visitors and sponsors.

We look forward to keeping you updated on events at the Museum. Thanks for the support Jim!

Talked to the owner of the green VW pictured and discovered that it was a beetle with a chopped off top and doors removed, high and low sirens added at front bumper, red light spot at drivers’ side, and was used as police car in Germany. I forget who did this conversion. The black and cream colored roadster in top photo was done by same craftsman. Both are very rare vehicles. Thanks for the coverage.

NORCALVDUBS would like to thank the California Automobile Museum for helping in get our first ever VW INVASION CAR SHOW. It was a blast. We had well over 100 classic aircooled VWs on show like Bugs, Square Back, Fast Back, Buses, Transporters, Bajas, Dune Buggies,Drag Bugs, Campers, Karmann Ghia and Customs of all types, a vendor row, swap meet alley and classic VWs for sale. Well the public were enjoying the sites they where treated to music, food and a raffle full of great prizes. I would like to also thank
NORCALVDUBS.COM for being involved in the show. Without them it would not be possible. We are looking forward to see everyone at next year VW INVASION at the CALIFORNIA AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM as it will be bigger and better
